What else can I help you with?
When the upward and downward forces on a falling object or changes its direction is called an?
Terminal Velocity.
Stationary objects are the result of?
0 velocity 0 acceleration The forces on the object are balanced: it is in equilibrium. (The forces are balanced on any object with 0 acceleration, even if it is moving.)
How do balanced and unbalanced forces affect an object at rest?
they cause the object to move with acceleration given by A nett force.
What determines the terminal velocity of an object?
Gravity and drag. Gravity accelerates the object and drag (caused by friction) slows it down. When the full effect of these two forces have been applied to an object, that object is said to have reached terminal velocity. A combination of mass, the size of the leading surface area and the shape of the object determine it's velocity. Example: A man with a closed parachute falls faster than a man with an open parachute.
When a pair of balanced forces acts on an object what will happen to an object that is moving?
If two forces acting on an object are equal and opposite, then the net force acting on the object is zero. If the net force acting on an object is zero, then the object's velocity will not change. If it is already moving, then it will continue to move in a straight line at that same velocity. If it is not already moving, it will stay stationary.
How does terminal velocity involve balanced forces?
Terminal velocity is an example of balanced forced because the gravitational forces and the air resistance balance each other.
When an object is falling is it balanced or unbalanced forces.?
Not balanced UNTIL it reaches terminal velocity.
What forces are acting on an object when it is falling at terminal velocity?
When an object is falling at terminal velocity, the forces of gravity pulling it downward and air resistance pushing upward are balanced. This results in a constant velocity for the object as it falls.
What if a falling object reaches this when forces of gravity and air resistance are balanced?
terminal velocity
Are Terminal velocities balanced or unbalanced?
Terminal velocities are balanced forces. At terminal velocity, the upward force of air resistance acting on an object falling through the air is equal in magnitude to the downward force of gravity, resulting in an equilibrium where the object falls at a constant speed.
A falling object is encountering air resistance At the moment the object reaches its terminal speed?
... I think you want to know about forces. At terminal velocity, the force of gravity is balanced by the air resistance, so no further acceleration occurs (balanced forces are the equivalent of an absence of force), which is why we call it *terminal* ("end value") velocity.
Does a skydivers decreases her acceleration when falling 5 seconds before reaching her terminal velocity?
No, a skydiver's acceleration remains constant as they fall towards their terminal velocity. This is because terminal velocity is the point at which the forces of gravity and air resistance are balanced, resulting in a constant velocity.
What is the term for the point at which an object will not accelerate any more?
The term for the point at which an object will not accelerate any more is called terminal velocity. At terminal velocity, the forces of air resistance and gravity are balanced, resulting in a constant velocity.
Why do skydivers reach terminal velocity?
Skydivers reach terminal velocity because as they fall, the force of gravity pulling them downward is balanced by air resistance pushing upward. At terminal velocity, these forces are equal, so the skydiver stops accelerating and falls at a constant speed.
Is this true or false balanced forces acting on an object will change the objects velocity?
False. Balanced forces acting on an object will not change the object's velocity. When forces are balanced, there is no change in the object's velocity as there is no net force acting on the object.
When gravitational forces and air resistance equalize on an object that is falling toward earth and the object stops accelerating its velocity is called?
In that case, the object is said to have achieved terminal speed.
What is velocity at which a falling object travels when the force of air resistance matches exactly the downward force of gravity?
newton's first law states: an object will remain at rest or at a constant velocity unless the forces on it become unbalanced. As the forces on the object are now balanced it falls at a constant velocity. For falling objects this is called the terminal velocity
